BONDS: EGBs-GILTS CASH CLOSE: Broad Weakness Ahead Of Euro CPI, UK Budget
BONDS
European yields rose Tuesday, with a second consecutive session of Gilt underperformance vs Bund.
- Most of the session's weakness came overnight, led by Bunds after they had strengthened Monday - but there was no clear trigger for the move.
- Much lower than expected US job openings data saw a global core FI rally in early Europeaan afternoon trade,but the impact eventually reversed as potentially mitigating factors such as hurricane effects were considered (and US consumer confidence came in strong).
- The European data calendar was relatively light: The UK saw growth in loan approvals alongside a softening in mortgage rates in September, though consumer credit remains dampened.
- The UK and German curves bear steepened through the 10Y segment, with 30Y instruments outperforming. Periphery EGB spreads were slightly wider, led by Italy and Greece.
- The UK budget release is Wednesday's highlight - MNI's Preview is here (link). Also garnering attention will be the start of the Eurozone October flash inflation round with Spain and Germany (MNI's Preview is here - link), as well as the first read of Q3 eurozone GDP.
